CDSS: Coker Drum Safety Systems automatically inhibit opening of valves under unsafe conditions. In a crude oil refinery, CDSS prevents release of hydrocarbons and/or hydrogen sulfide to the atmosphere, or introduction of hydrocarbons to an open drum.

This safety instrumented system is independent of the TAS coker interlock system and other plant control systems. It monitors process conditions to prevent operations from opening the wrong valve or performing operations on the wrong drum. CDSS provides a totally independent logic solver coupled with independent process sensors to provide a stand-alone layer of protection for the coker drum, declares its manufacturer. Additional coker drum safety systems data are yours free.
